If you ever wondered why Democrats are out of power, check out this post from Jesse.
To make a long story short, Barbara Boxer repeatedly called Condi RIce a liar, Condi responded that Boxer should not impugn her integrity- which is Washingtonspoeak for ‘stop calling me a liar’- and then Barbara Boxer goes all over the place and tells anyone who will listen that Rice atacke her.
And Jesse buys it, hook, line, and sinker. These people have lost their damned minds.
What is so disgusting about Boxer’s behavior is that they have no intention nor ability of blocking her nomination. They just want to weaken her so they can score pointa against this administration and the majority party in general.
Thanks guys- publicly weakening our represenative to the world for nothing other than partisan gain. Assholes.
And don’t tell me this isn’t about grandstanding. There is a reason Boxer alerted the media days before the Rice hearings. She wanted the press, and that was it. This isn’t about a consitutional duty. This is about petty politics.
